Description
As networks evolve with the adoption of edge cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and specialized processors such as Data Processing Units (DPUs), IP resource management must keep pace with technological advancements. Traditional approaches to managing IP addresses and network configurations are increasingly inadequate in dynamic, high-performance environments where automation and scalability are key.
In this presentation, Juha Holkkola, Co-Founder and Chief Technologist at FusionLayer will explore how emerging technologies are reshaping IP resource management. The talk will provide insights into:
- the role of AI in automating IP address allocation and optimizing network efficiency
- how edge cloud computing is redefining network architectures and IP resource planning
- the impact of DPUs and other new processor types on networking performance and security
- the role of Secure Zero Touch Provisioning (sZTP) as defined in RFC 8572 in automating and securing large-scale network deployments
This session will provide network engineers and decision-makers with actionable strategies to future-proof their IP management frameworks in a rapidly advancing digital ecosystem by leveraging real-world case studies and industry trends.
